The principles of chemical oceanography provide insight into the
processes regulating the marine carbon cycle. The text offers a
background in chemical oceanography and a description of how
chemical elements in seawater and ocean sediments are used as
tracers of physical, biological, chemical and geological processes
in the ocean. The first seven chapters present basic topics of
thermodynamics, isotope systematics and carbonate chemistry, and
explain the influence of life on ocean chemistry and how it has
evolved in the recent (glacial-interglacial) past. This is followed
by topics essential to understanding the carbon cycle, including
organic geochemistry, air-sea gas exchange, diffusion and reaction
kinetics, the marine and atmosphere carbon cycle and diagenesis in
marine sediments. Figures are available to download from
www.cambridge.org/9780521833134. Ideal as a textbook for
upper-level undergraduates and graduates in oceanography,
environmental chemistry, geochemistry and earth science and a
valuable reference for researchers in oceanography.
